The results of two studies were presented at the International Alzheimer's Conference. They show that annual flu vaccines can help prevent viral infections. It is these infections that contribute to memory impairment.

Research shows the following:

• At least one influenza vaccine resulted in a 17% reduction in the incidence. More frequent influenza vaccinations were associated with an additional 13% reduction in incidence.
• Vaccination against pneumonia between the ages of 65 and 75 (depending on individual genes) reduced the risk of Alzheimer's by up to 40%.
• Individuals with dementia have a 6 times higher risk of dying after infection than those without dementia (3 times).

The study found that the best results were seen in people who started getting flu shots at an early age.
